Thanks to the Obama Administration – Criticism of Islamic violence will be forbidden.

The Obama Administration helped the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) push through their resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on religion. Team Obama led the way for the resolution to pass through the General Assembly.CNS News reported:

The U.N. General Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on their religion, and urging countries to take effective steps “to address and combat such incidents.”

No member state called for a recorded vote on the text, which was as a result adopted “by consensus.”

The resolution, an initiative of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), is based on one passed by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council in Geneva last spring. The State Department last week hosted a meeting to discuss ways of “implementing” it.

Every year since 1999 the OIC has steered through the U.N.’s human rights apparatus a resolution condemning the “defamation of religion,” which for the bloc of 56 Muslim states covered incidents ranging from satirizing Mohammed in a newspaper cartoon to criticism of shari’a and post-9/11 security check profiling.

Critics regard the measure as an attempt to outlaw valid and critical scrutiny of Islamic teachings, as some OIC states do through controversial blasphemy laws at home.

Strongly opposed by mostly Western democracies, the divisive “defamation” resolution received a dwindling number of votes each year, with the margin of success falling from 57 votes in 2007 to 19 in 2009 and just 12 last year.

This year’s text was a departure, in that it dropped the “defamation” language and included a paragraph that reaffirms “the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information can play in strengthening democracy and combating religious intolerance.”

The nod to freedom of expression won the resolution the support of the U.S. and other democracies, with the Obama administration and others hailing it as a breakthrough after years of acrimonious debate.

Doubtful. Look for this new resolution to be used against anyone who dares criticize Islamic violence. Why else would the OIC and Obama push it?

By the way… There have been 18,161 deadly attacks in the name of Islam since 9-11.
Obama doesn’t want you to talk about it.

Nothing like lying with the enemy. Too bad the general public has no clue what has happened to European countries that have imposed laws forbidding saying anything bad about the Muslims. The American citizenry needs to fight the Obama administration about this but I’m sure with their head stuck in dark places that is not going to happen. The thing is, these laws in Europe do not stop the Muslims from saying anything bad about Christianity, Judaism or any other religion they chose to speak against.

so does this mean that the islamic countries can’t say nasty things about the joos any more or that the lame stream media and the obummer administration (redundant, I know) won’t portray christians as dumb backward fools and hicks?

Sorry UN, I’ll call it as I see it. If it’s violence done in the name of Allah and Islam, then that’s what what it is. I think Islam is a twisted version of Judaism, dreamed up by a nutcase eating magic mushrooms—it’s a religion I have no interest in embracing. I simply don’t believe it’s the ‘true’ religion..
Now if Islam wants to be tolerant, or in the words of this resolution , promote and practice~~ “the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information can play in strengthening democracy and combating religious intolerance.”~~~to all, then I’m sure I’ll have no problem with their religious beliefs. But allowing any of the above doesn’t seem to be intrinsic to their beliefs.

Let’s see, Bill Mahar will still be able to make his lambasting of Christians but it will be illegal for someone to criticize islam. I guess this is because the UN and the left knows islam is the religion of beheadings.

[On October 1, 2009, the Obama administration in conjunction with the
Egyptian government, introduced an anti-free speech measure to the
United Nation’s Human Rights Council (HRC). It was adopted the next
day without a vote.]

What typical leftist double-talk bullsh!t: Sure, the resolution PRETENDS to support freedom of expression; but when you read the fine print, you realize, #1, it ONLY favors speech that “combats religious intolerance,” NOT speech that criticizes a religion; and #2, it calls for governments to take effective steps “to address and combat” stereotyping of people based on their religion, which means GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP, plain and simple, which of course is the OPPOSITE of freedom of speech.

I swear, this G-D Obama administration is the f*cking embodiment of the Orwellian nightmare. It is evil to its core and must be CRUSHED at the polls in November 2012.

Please forgive my cursing. The daily outrages from this gangster regime, which seem to become more outrageous with every day, are making it harder and harder for me to maintain civility.
